Description
I'm excited about writing a Lisp that is Pythonic!
It is also a way to get started with Lisp for Python developers. But basically it's a lot of fun and as easy as (print "hello world") !
Abstract
As a Pythonista now working with Clojure I presented a poster on learning Clojure for a Python developer at PyCon 2015. During the poster session I was told about Hy language which is a Lisp that compiles to Python.
I'm very excited about Hy and would like to introduce it, talk about a feature usually associated with Lisps that is writing macros. Then I'll present Hy language internals and how it compiles to Python.
